We have just released a new beta version of BoxCryptor which fixes a bug which could cause data loss if you cut and paste a folder within the BoxCryptor drive to another drive, as users reported yesterday. This is now fixed in the new version. Please upgrade as soon as possible by downloading and installing the new version. If you have the automatic check for updates enabled you are informed about the new version.

On a sidenote: Due to user requests, we have released a small command line tool which can be used to enable or disable filename encryption on an already created encrypted folder. If you have an old encrypted folder with plaintext filenames and want to benefit from the new filename encryption feature, you can use this tool to encrypt your filenames. As always, we advise having a backup ready.
- Usage:
/toEncryptedFilenames – Change from plaintext filenames to encrypted filenames
/toPlaintextFilenames – Change from encrypted filenames to plaintext filenames
/root – Location of the encrypted source folder
/password – Use this password - Example: BoxCryptorControl.exe /toEncryptedFilenames /root C:UsersRobertDropboxSafe /password topSecret

I turned on the new filename encryption feature, and any time I close an opened pdf file, a message box says "Adobe Reader has stoped working" and Windows try to find a solution for that problem. It only happens when the pdf file I have opened is on the Boxcryptor’s drive.(Windows 7 64bit, Boxcryptor 0.9.1.1)
I’m having a problem switching on filename encryption.My home folder is "C:Usersjoe.domainMy DropboxcBoxCryptor"The command BoxCryptorControl /toEncryptedFilenames /root "C:Usersjoe.domainMy DropboxcBoxCryptor" /password xxxreturnsIllegal characters in path.Is the space in "My Dropbox" causing the problem? That was the default offered by dropbox. Is it the . in the user name? That was set up by the domain admin. Is it the quote characters?
@Peter: Thanks for the hint. Indeed, Adobe Reader crashes in certain circumstances. This bug was just fixed in the current developer version and will be part of the next release.@Joe: The problem is, that you are escaping the last quote character and it is not recognised as delimiter of the path. If you have to use quote characters (because of the space in the path), you may not use a backslash at the end of the root path (because this escapes the quote character). The correct command has to be:BoxCryptorControl.exe /toEncryptedFilenames /root "C:Usersjoe.domainMy DropboxcBoxCryptor" /password xxx
Hi. I am also having an issue trying to show plain text filesC:UsersnharrisonDownloadsBoxCryptorControl_v0.1>BoxCryptorControl.exe /toPlaintextFilenames /root "c:UsersNharrisonDocumentsMy DropboxBoxCryptor" /password ********Starting…Testing phase…Testing 8g9IS5Jx5-I5zo2sqxCYaF6uomH30xc8IVcOYgj0jCausg6Access to the path ‘c:UsersNharrisonDocumentsMy DropboxBoxCryptor8g9IS5Jx5-I5zo2sqxCYaF6uomH30xc8IVcOYgj0jCausg6′ is denied.Testing nOgbJLLH9oirVVqEWEWpDNfhXauf11There were errors during the testing phase. Please correct them and retry. Exiting.Any Ideas
@Neil: The message indicates that BCControl can not access the file or folder 8g9I….. A possilbe reason could be that the file or folder is opened in another program. Please make sure that no file in the BoxCryptor folder is opened and you have the correct permissions on every file and folder.
Maybe this is obvious but it caused my some real trouble: Quit boxcrptor BEFORE trying to convert file names to encrypted version.If boxcryptor is still running the .encfs6.xml config file can not be changed leaving your file names scrambled but boxcrypt still thinks it’s working with unscrambled file names.Problem can be solved by modifying the following section in .encfs.xml: <nameAlg> <name>nameio/stream</name> <major>2</major> <minor>1</minor> </nameAlg>This seems to be telling bc whether or not to use file name encryption.Anyway, good work, nice conversion tool. It saved me alot of up-/downloading.
First of all thanks for boxcryptor – love it so far!One question: Do you plan to add CBC to Boxcryptor?I just created two text files with the same name and content and put them in two seperate folders. Boxcryptor encrypted the files exactly the same way (the sha1 crcs match). Are there any plans to prevent that?And are there plans for CBC-lile encrypted file/folder names?
Hi Pete,BoxCryptor already uses CBC for encrypting files (see http://www.boxcryptor.com/support.html -> How does BoxCryptor encrypt files?). You’re asking for per-file initialization vectors. Right now, all files use the same IV, that’s why files with the same content are encrypted in the exact same way. If each file has its own IV, all files would be encrypted differently even they have the same content.Both, Per-File IV and Filename Initialization Vector Chaining (both supported by EncFS) are on our todo-list, but I can not yet give you any time estimate on this.
@Marc:Although BoxCryptor should not hold a lock on the .encfs6.xml file, exiting the application before changing the filename encryption is definitely a good choice.The .encfs6.xml configuration file in the root of your encrypted folder tells BoxCryptor if filenames are encrypted or not. As you stated, the information is located in the nameAlg-part of the XML-file. If you ever want to modify it yourself:Encrypted Filenames:<namealg><name>nameio/stream</name><major>2</major><minor>1</minor></namealg>Plaintext Filenames:<nameAlg><name>nameio/null</name><major>1</major><minor>0</minor></nameAlg>
Can I start the BoxCryptorPortable.exe with command line arguments to make it automatically open a certain encrypted folder? (A relative path is needed.)Is it possible to use the BoxCryptorControl tool with BoxCryptorPortable.exe for this?
This is why I absolutely do not regret buying boxcryptor, although with encfs there is a free solution available.The Boxcryptor Team really does support their software: Improvement of DokanFS (Office Files), Boxcryptor Portable or this commandline tool.Thanks!
